Here's my comments on the dessert party I attended on the 29th with 4 other people that are all in the adult price range. It started to drizzle a bit but stopped in time for the show. We did ask if we could head out to the viewing area beforehand, but since I didn't scope it out ahead of time, we couldn't find it easily and just ended up waiting for the stormtroopers. No big deal, the area was crowded but the view was fine.
Food was decent. The cupcakes, to me, were smaller versions of the cupcakes offered around the parks and food courts. So it was nice to be able to try them all at one time instead of using a precious quick serve dessert on them (I love the chocolate cake but feel bad picking that every time instead of trying a character cupcake or special looking treat!) The blue stuff in the cup was one of my favorites and also the frozen Nutella was good. The spicy bean dip with the pita bread was what I ate the most of. It was very good and also the cheese and olives were good. The rest of my party enjoyed tasting all the sweets and the cheeses, but once you are done, you are done. We were finished early and had time to hang around and take pictures. The swamp juice was the best adult drink, but maybe because I am partial to anything melon? The other drink tasted strong, and with the heat and exhaustion from the being there all day, I didn't think it would make me feel well to keep drinking it. Oh, and we did find a table even though we came in at 7:30pm, but I think that was just pure luck since it was the only one left.
Show itself was great. The music is exciting and the lasers are cool. Although I felt that there were times they could have kept the lasers moving more to the music/show. It could have added that extra "oomph"? But that's just me nitpicking. The viewing area offered the best distance and centering. Its not right up front where you would need to crane your neck, and pretty much in the center with the least amount of trees and stuff in the way.
Chewy steins, well, try fitting them in a crowded suitcase to go home
. They did make a cute hotel room window decoration.
Overall, glad we did it. Would I do it again? Only if paying for one or two people.
